CFN3 Command Sessions
After signing on, you may enter data and commands until you either sign off or are signed off
automatically. The time during which you are signed on is referred to as a command session.
How to Sign On
To sign on to the Site Controller, enter a user number and password. The information below
provide information to add new users and change the password.
To sign on, proceed as follows:
1 Press Enter. The terminal will print the message signon:
2 Type your user number, a comma, and your password. Press Enter.
For example, if your user number is 3, and your password is AGENT007, type 3,
AGENT007. If your password has any upper case letters, ensure that you enter them in upper
case. The terminal will not echo the password you type for security reasons.
When you are properly signed on, the terminal prints a message such as Connected to site
1010 on Tue 7/27/04 1:12PM to show that the command session has begun and it is ready to
accept commands. The next line displays the command prompt [P:]*.
How to Sign Off
To end a command session, press Escape (usually marked ESC) or type Exit or Quit and
press Enter.
The terminal will accept no further commands until you or someone else signs on again. When
you sign off, the terminal prints Sign off Tue 10/26/04 1:25PM. Do not click X in the upper
right corner of the window.
Automatic Sign Off
If you do not type anything on the terminal for 5 minutes, the terminal ends the command
session automatically. This protects the system if you forget to sign off.
How to Enter Commands and Data
Commands tell the site controller to perform particular actions, such as printing reports or
changing prices.
To enter a command, type the command on the terminal keyboard and press Enter.
After the site controller finishes performing the action requested by a command, it will
respond with the current drive letter followed by an asterisk [P:]* to show that it is ready to
accept another command. This letter-asterisk combination is called the command prompt,
since it prompts you to enter a command. Anytime you see the command prompt, the site
controller is ready to accept a command.
